Okay, now tell > me exactly what you're doing so I can have the same results! > > Good to hear about Alyssa getting her drains out, too. > > Love and hugs!!! > Tracey Hi Tracey For the last 10 weeks I have been slowly getting back to basics. Each week I gave up one bad thing, the next week I added one more thing and so on. I had given up all sodas, bread, candy, chips, cookies, deserts, and basically all carbs. I cheated a little in Hawaii. I never gave up ice cream tho- didnt make it that far. I didnt give up alcohol- but never drink much so it just wasnt worth it. I am taking a hiatus until after the holidays now, but am finding that I dont want all the things I thought I did before, so I am just not eating them! I am never going to go back to " cokes " tho. I never started drinking Coke since my DS since I knew that I would be hooked again if I did, and I had morphine last time to get off it. I had, however, started drinking Dr Pepper and root beer every now and then, but wont get into that habit again. I still want to get into the 170's someday and think I will put that on my DL when I renew it- ya know- to give me an incentive! lol Like Pat being there isnt enough...man she is a hard lady to catch up to! lol Sharon in Onyx > > 12-20-01 335 lbs 3xl shirt 32 pants > > 12-20-03 188 lbs m/l shirt 14/16 pants > > down 147 lbs and Freedom that cant be weighed or measured!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi Sharon! I should have phrased that differently. I knew how you did it, but HOW did you do it??? LOL! I can't imagine giving up sweets. I just can't! The sodas are no big deal. I hardly ever drink them anyway. The bread is a tougher deal but I think I can do that with some effort. I think I could even manage the chips. But, around my office giving up candy, cookies and desserts is going to be VERY hard! I think I'm going to have to invest in some low carb versions of the stuff. I just wish it wasn't so expensive! In case I didn't say it enough, I am just SOOOOO proud of you!!! Hugs!!!

Thanks, Sharon! I have been having a lot of eating issues lately, too, and I know THIS is the answer for most of our eating woes and body image woes. Early resolution for me: Change the focus...redirect my thinking...remember to be grateful for this wonderful surgery...respect what my body has been through...and find joy in eating protein and veggies.

I know what you mean about hard. I never thought I was going to have to diet again...lol. Now I had to get my head out of the clouds, and the not fair part, and redirect my thinking and attitude. I could always diet for a short period of time, so I put a time limit on it, and stayed faithful to that time limit. I will do that again next month as it works for me. I can do, or survive, anything as long as I know it is going to " end " at a certain time. lol Hope that helps Holiday hugs to you Sharon in Onyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
